Golden Belt Swim Squad concludes regular season with win

HAYS — The Golden Belt Swim Squad remains undefeated after six meets this summer, their most recent triuumph coming at Hays on Saturday. The local team is now 5-0 in the Western Kansas Swim Club League.
At Hays, Golden Belt turned in 805.5 points to lap second-place finisher Scott City, which finished with 297.5. Dodge City placed third with 295.5.
“Our young kids swam extremely well,” Golden Belt head coach Steve Beaumont said. “A lot of those kids were having to swim in a 50-meter pool for the first time. They really did a fantastic job.
“Our young kids have shown a lot of improvement over the summer. It was nice to see them step up this weekend.”
For the eight-and-under girls, Aubrey Snapp claimed three first-place finishes, taking gold in the 50-meter butterfly (one minute, 11.75 seconds), 50 backstroke (59.23 seconds) and 50 breaststroke (1:03.93).
The eight-and-under boys were paced by a trio of swimmers and led by Jacob Kennedy, who captured first place in the both the 50 freestyle (51.59) and the 50 backstroke (1:05.62), and Cal Dunekack, who took first in both the 50 butterfly (1:15.03) and 50 breaststroke (1:08.30). Matt Huslig took first place in the 100 freestyle (1:56.97).
Hannah Hildebrand took first place in both the 400 freestyle (6:08.30) and 200 individual medley (3:06.97) events in the 15-and-over division.
“Our afternoon group competed well, too,” Beaumont said. “It was very hot in the afternoon. Our times weren’t as good as they were in the morning, but that’s to be expected when you are standing around in the heat all afternoon.”
This weekend, the team will be competing in the league meet in Garden City.
The meet, which will feature swimmers who have reached a qualifying time in a meet this season, will begin on Saturday and finish on Sunday.
“We probably had 75 kids qualify for the league’s combined meet,” Beaumont said. “I think 60 kids will probably be attending.
“After that, there is the state division-II meet in Kansas City. We probably have seven or eight kids who have qualified for that.”
